You probably had the Shelter version signed by me (and not F-Droid) installed, and that is likely why you cannot re-install Shelter properly. Try the version from my own F-Droid repository (https://fdroid.typeblog.net/), and if it installs fine, you can just force a recreation of the work profile. You will lose all data inside the profile, though, and there is no way to work around that. Regards, Peter.

No, it is outside of the scope of Shelter to implement features not available to a profile owner. I don't see why there is a problem in using another app to achieve something completely different.

Device Owner and Work Profiles are incompatible with each other, because Work Profiles are supposed to deprecate the Device Owner feature in its entirety. That is what I mean by saying the Device Owner feature will be removed in a future Android release, and also why Shelter does not and will not support being a Device Owner.

Because it doesn't let me set Hail as device owner when Shelter is the work profile owner.

It's not a supported use case of Shelter -- and Device Owner is a deprecated feature in Android anyway and will be removed in a future version. On 5/28/23 08:40, Rahatul Ghazi wrote: > Hi Peter. > > I want to freeze my main profile's apps with shelter. How do I do that?

Hmm, I actually just assumed that this would never work in a work profile -- I didn't know all you need is just a stub. It is definitely a great idea but I will likely need to find a contactless payment app to test with, and unfortunately in where I live the only option seems to be Google Pay, but that won't work if only installed in a work profile (not that it would accept my bootloader-unlocked device, either).

Thank you. Eventually I'll add both of these features -- hopefully before A14 is actually released.

Sorry, I have not implemented the new settings yet due to a bunch of things happening in my life right now. I'll try to remember to get back to it some time soon -- which I think shouldn't be too far away... In the mean time, if you are willing to take a shot at this, I am always open to a pull request / patches via email. Regards, Peter. On 3/12/23 16:16, Elijah T.

Hi, Unfortunately Shelter itself cannot do anything about this type of bugs. It's either something that has to be handled by the screen recording app itself, or it is a bug of AOSP (or GrapheneOS downstream, but it's less likely). Sadly there is not much I could do here.

I'm able to record the app's display, but not its sound, despite enabling the "record audio" option with "device audio" selected. I've tested this with multiple apps, but no sound was ever saved within the recording. The only type of sound it can record seems to only be input from the microphone when it's selected.

Hi, I believe Google Family Link acts as the Device Manager app for your kid's device(s). In that case, I do not think Google would expose an option to allow the use of other device admin / work profile managers, because that is not an expected use case. Regards, Peter.

We make no use of proprietary Samsung knox APIs, so any bug related to knox can only be caused by them breaking compatibility with upstream AOSP APIs. Please contact Samsung for any potential breakage resulting from their proprietary solution. Regards, Peter.
